Re: [Mathlib-develop] Applet vs Webstart

[Stefan M. <st...@he...>]

Dear Jason,

in my opinion the applet is very important, because it can be easily
used within web browsers.

In an applet the working directory should be very easy: since there
is no real access to the disc in an applet. It comes down to a
list of m-files and class-files (like it is done in the current
release).

Sorry, but with web start I don't have any experience.

Could somebody help here?

Kind regards,
  Stefan.
